Modesto's Reserve Officer Unit

Training

The Modesto Police Reserve Unit prides itself on the high degree of continuous professional training given to its officers.
The department mandates that all active Reserve Officers must attend and demonstrate proficiency in monthly training exercises.
Many of the topics covered in department training exceed the requirements dictated by P.O.S.T. Some of the topics covered in monthly
training sessions include:

Firearms

Defensive Tactics

Baton/Impact Weapons

First Aid/CPR

Patrol Vehicle Driving

Tactical Building Entry/Search

Domestic Violence

Report Writing

High Risk Apprehension

Gang Intelligence

All of the training curriculum mirrors that given to the regular officers. It is taught by certified instructors from the
various training teams within the department. In addition to all required training blocks, reserve officers are welcome
to attend most any elective training offered to regular officers.
